I doubt it, unless it is done in a religion or comparative religions class. It is done all the time in private schools.

In order to teach creationism into school you have to admit you are teaching religion in your schools. Creationism is essentially just religion disguised as science. This would challenge peoples ability to choose whatever religion they want to believe. If you teach that a "God" made us, even if you don't specify which religions God, you automatically tell people that 1) there is a God, and 2) that there isn't more then one God.

Ehh, that's being taken completely out of context. Separation of church and state means that the government won't force it's people to follow a certain religion or they won't be run by a certain religion (Catholicism is known for it).

Teaching a religion in school is not separation of church and state, and it's done all the time. I learned about Islam, Rastafarianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and many other religions in my public High School. But our society tells us it's wrong to have any sort of pride when you're a part of a majority (such as being white, Christian, American, etc.)

When i was in high school they gave us a general education on all the bigger religons (christianity, Islam and judism.) Not much on the smaller ones like the rastas though.

Nevermind, I was thinking if they started teaching kids creationism like it was 100% correct.

I would have to disagree with you on that.
Widely followed - Around 40-45% of the US population believe in CreationUnexplainable - Show me some viable scientific evidence that explains Creation.Myth - In short, a story told through tradition, concerning a deity/hero, with (or without) an explanation for something not fully known at that time.

I hope it's never taught in school. School should focus on scientific theory, otherwise there isn't any method of discerning which "origin beliefs" (I don't consider creationism a theory) you teach and which you don't. If you teach that, why aren't you teaching the Hindu beliefs on the origin of the world? Or the NAtive American belief that the world is on the back of a turtle. Or the Zen Buddhist belief that it's all an illusion anyway.

nope. its those atheist people who cry that there daughter or son have to say the word God in the pledge and who are offended when people pray in school. what i dont get is why the 1 person who expresses their opinion about how they dont want their kid saying 2 words in the pledge gets their way (i know it hasnt happened but it might someday). that shouldnt happen. this country was based on religion and all we have done is taken away God from anything in this country.
